A mayoral candidate in New York City wants his rival, former Rep. Anthony Weiner, to apologize for using a Latino pseudonym for his covert lewd activities on social media.

Rev. Erick Salgado, a Democrat  from Staten Island, said in a video message that Weiner’s decision to use the name “Carlos Danger” in his sexual overtures to at least one woman after he resigned from Congress is an insult to Latinos.

“For Anthony Weiner to hide under a Spanish name to do his bad behavior is very insulting to the Spanish community,” said Salgado, who resigned as the President of Radio Cantico Nuevo, a radio ministry, to run for mayor.

 

Every time many people do wrong behavior, it’s always a Carlito, a Pedrito, a Miguelito.

“I believe he has to apologize to the Latino community,” he said. “Every time many people do wrong behavior, it’s always a Carlito, a Pedrito, a Miguelito. But behind that name, it was really not a Carlito. It was a ‘Anthony Weiner.’ You have to apologize to the Latino community. It’s an insult.”
